RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2003-01787
INDEX CODE: 135.03
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: YES
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His status be changed from non-select reserve status to select reserve
status.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
He had been going through the process of rejoining the Air Force
Reserve (AFRES) and had found a position when he found out that he had
been passed over for promotion for the second time. Due to the
inordinate amount of time it has taken for him to be accessed, he is
now facing mandatory separation.
In support of his appeal, applicant has provided a personal statement,
application to AFPC/DPB to explore the possibility of having his
Officer Selection Brief (OSB) for the FY03 Health Professions Major
Selection Board corrected, and several pertinent emails between
himself, his Health Professions Recruiter and ARPC.
His complete submission, with attachments, is at Exhibit A.
_________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant separated from active duty, as a captain, on 30 August
1999. During Spring 2003, he applied for transfer from the Individual
Ready Reserve (IRR) to the active selective reserve program. While
his application was being processed he was passed over by the FY02 and
FY03 Major Selection Boards. His record indicates he was subjected to
mandatory separation effective 1 October 2003.
_________________________________________________________________
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
ARPC/SG reviewed this application and recommended denial. SG notes
that the issue of untimely processing being to blame for the applicant
being passed over twice before being able to rejoin the AFRES is
beyond the purview their office. However, an SG postscript reveals
that ARPC/SGE is currently manned in the applicant’s medical specialty
at 117%.
ARPC/SG’s complete evaluation is at Exhibit C.
_________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the applicant on
20 June 2003 for review and comment within 30 days. As of this date,
no response has been received by this office.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by existing law
or regulations.
2. The application was timely filed.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to demonstrate
the existence of error or injustice. We took notice of the
applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case;
however, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force
office of primary responsibility and adopt their rationale as the
basis for our conclusion that the applicant has not been the victim of
an error or injustice. We noted his assertions of delay in processing
his physical and background check paperwork but unfortunately he did
not include any documentation to corroborate his claim that the time
taken to process his application was excessive. However, should he
choose to submit supporting statements substantiating an inordinate
delay in the processing of his paperwork, the Board would reconsider
his application. Therefore, in the absence of evidence to the
contrary, we find no compelling basis to recommend granting the relief
sought in this application.
4. The applicant's case is adequately documented and it has not been
shown that a personal appearance with or without counsel will
materially add to our understanding of the issue(s) involved.
Therefore, the request for a hearing is not favorably considered.
_________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that the
application was denied without a personal appearance; and that the
application will only be reconsidered upon the submission of newly
discovered relevant evidence not considered with this application.

A health professions officer nominated for PV promotion must complete their PME by the PRF submission date, 45 days before the board convenes. We note that apparently in accordance with the established governing policy, the applicant’s nomination for a PV promotion was returned because she had not completed the appropriate level of professional military education (PME) at the time the PRF was submitted. In this respect, the Board notes that a health professions officer nominated for PV...

_________________________________________________________________ THE APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT: At the time he was considered for PV promotion, the citation to accompany the award of the MSM was missing from his selection record. In view of this, and since the Reserve Officer Personnel Management Act does not provide ARPC the authority to hold Special Selection Boards (SSBs) for PV promotion boards, we recommend his records, to include the MSM citation, be considered for promotion to the...

The applicant was appropriately considered and not selected by the FY03 and FY04 major boards. We took notice of the applicant's complete submission in judging the merits of the case; however, we note that the applicant was considered and selected by the February 2003 Captain’s Continuation Board that enables the applicant to effectively compete for promotion to major until 31 January 2011. Consequently, we agree with the opinion and recommendation of the Air Force office of primary...

His commander received an informal email in late November 2002 requesting that an Officer Performance Report (OPR) be prepared for the February 2003 major board. Since he is no longer a member of the Air Force Reserve as a result of the two nonselections, he is not eligible for consideration by a Reserve promotion board. All of the officers selected for promotion by the FY03 board had completed SOS and 94% of the officers selected by the FY04 board had completed SOS.
AF | BCMR | CY2006 | BC-2005-01367
The CY2004 Lt Colonel Selective Continuation Board considered officers whose primary, duty, secondary, or tertiary Air Force Specialty (PAFSC, DAFSC, 2AFSC, 3AFSC) was manned at 95% or less. The applicant does not have a 3AFSC. As stated, the applicant made no effort prior to any promotion or continuation board to update his AFSCs or his Duty History to reflect what he states today is the correct information.
AF | BCMR | CY2003 | BC-2003-00089
Therefore, we recommend he be considered for promotion to the grade of captain by Special Selection Board (SSB) for the FY03 selection board. While we note the comments provided by the Air Force concerning applicant having no participation and no performance reports, the fact remains that he was entitled to promotion consideration by the FY03 selection board.

Additionally, since he had been appointed in the CAANG, he should have met the ANG FY03 Major Selection Board instead of the AFRES Major Selection Board. The majority of the Board finds no error or injustice in the time required to appoint him in the CAANG as the time to do so does not seem disproportionate considering the scale of the requirements necessary to obtain his appointment. It is further recommended that his record, without the above referenced Article 15, be considered for...
